Which naval command will the visiting Fijian delegation inspect during its trip to Kochi?

  1. A.Western Naval Command
  2. B.Eastern Naval Command
  3. C.Southern Naval Command
  4. D.Andaman and Nicobar Command

Correct answer

C. Southern Naval Command

Explanation

The correct answer is the Southern Naval Command. As part of the effort to widen specialised military training cooperation, the delegation from Fiji is scheduled to be in Kochi on 29 and 30 September 2026 and will inspect facilities there, with the aim of formalising advanced naval training cooperation and professional aviation training modules. The visit is expected to raise technical proficiency and operational synergy between the two maritime forces. Options A, B and D name other commands of the Indian armed forces, none of which was mentioned in this context. A useful habit for aspirants is to attach each naval command to its headquarters city, because questions often test that pairing directly, and here the pairing of Kochi with the Southern Naval Command is the fact being examined.
